This functionality -- if it's actually needed -- can be reintroduced through
some other mechanism. An ABI is clearly not the right way to represent it.
closes#25918
The new builtins are:
* `@EnumLiteral`
* `@Int`
* `@Fn`
* `@Pointer`
* `@Tuple`
* `@Enum`
* `@Union`
* `@Struct`
Their usage is documented in the language reference.
There is no `@Array` because arrays can be created like this:
if (sentinel) |s| [n:s]T else [n]T
There is also no `@Float`. Instead, `std.meta.Float` can serve this use
case if necessary.
There is no `@ErrorSet` and intentionally no way to achieve this.
Likewise, there is intentionally no way to reify tuples with comptime
fields, or function types with comptime parameters. These decisions
simplify the Zig language specification, and moreover make Zig code more
readable by discouraging overly complex metaprogramming.

Resolves: #10710
If a Reader implementation implements `stream` by ignoring the Writer, writing directly to its internal buffer, and returning 0, then `defaultDiscard` would not update `seek` and also return 0, which is incorrect and can cause `discardShort` to violate the contract of `VTable.discard` by calling into `vtable.discard` with a non-empty buffer.
This commit fixes the problem by advancing seek up to the limit after the stream call. This logic could likely be somewhat simplified in the future depending on how #25170 is resolved.
while still preserving the guarantee about async() being assigned a unit
of concurrency (or immediately running the task), this change:
* retains the error from calling getCpuCount()
* spawns all threads in detached mode, using WaitGroup to join them
* treats all workers the same regardless of whether they are processing
concurrent or async tasks. one thread pool does all the work, while
respecting async and concurrent limits.
This is a reimplementation of Io.Threaded that fixes the issues
highlighted in the recent Zulip discussion. It's poorly tested but it
does successfully run to completion the litmust test example that I
offered in the discussion.
This implementation has the following key design decisions:
- `t.cpu_count` is used as the threadpool size.
- `t.concurrency_limit` is used as the maximum number of
"burst, one-shot" threads that can be spawned by `io.concurrent` past
`t.cpu_count`.
- `t.available_thread_count` is the number of threads in the pool that
is not currently busy with work (the bookkeeping happens in the worker
function).
- `t.one_shot_thread_count` is the number of active threads that were
spawned by `io.concurrent` past `t.cpu_count`.
In this implementation:
- `io.async` first tries to decrement `t.available_thread_count`. If
there are no threads available, it tries to spawn a new one if possible,
otherwise it runs the task immediately.
- `io.concurrent` first tries to use a thread in the pool same as
`io.async`, but on failure (no available threads and pool size limit
reached) it tries to spawn a new one-shot thread. One shot threads
run a different main function that just executes one task, decrements
the number of active one shot threads, and then exits.
A relevant future improvement is to have one-shot threads stay on for a
few seconds (and potentially pick up a new task) to amortize spawning
costs.
I would like a chance to review this before it lands, please. Feel free
to submit the work again without changes and I will make review
comments.
In the meantime, these reverts avoid intermittent CI failures, and
remove bad patterns from occurring in the standard library that other
users might copy.

This is relevant to PIEs, which are notably enabled by default on macOS.
The build system needs to only see virtual addresses, that is, those
which do not have the slide applied; but the fuzzer itself naturally
sees relocated addresses (i.e. with the slide applied). We just need to
subtract the slide when we communicate addresses to the build system.
Like ELF, we now have `std.debug.MachOFile` for the host-independent
parts, and `std.debug.SelfInfo.MachO` for logic requiring the file to
correspond to the running program.
Little-endian is what `std.zig.Server` expects, but the old logic just
send the raw bytes of the struct, so sent in native endian (causing a
crash on big-endian targets).
